Getting There

SDiFF takes place in multiple locations around downtown San Diego, including the Balboa Theater, Regal Cinema, the ArcLight La Jolla and the Pendry San Diego. If you must fly, book a flight to San Diego International Airport. Because it’s a bustling city with millions of people, you should consider using a rideshare or other public transportation to get around.

The festival recommends you book a room at The Pendry San Diego, The Catamaran, The Bahia Resort, or The Lodge at Torrey Pines.
